Canada Day
Menu
Welcome to Canada Day in Arnprior, presented by Pillar 5!
July 1 in Arnprior is always a very busy day. Between the activities hosted by the Town and the many service groups and businesses participating, there is more than enough for everyone.
While the main event is typically held at Robert Simpson Park, that space is undergoing a renovation project which has moved the festivities to Hydro Park East, 100 Madawaska Boulevard.
Live Music
The Live Music stage will be in Hydro Park East, 100 Madawaska Boulevard, with the backdrop of the Ottawa River.
